Having problems with your Canon EOS 450D Digital Camera ?

Canon 450D is not being recognised by my computer (I run xp 32-bit). When I turn on the camera, windows comes up with a "install new hardware" option. I have installed the EOS utility etc. but still the camera isn't recognised by my computer. Anyone have ANY idea? This also happened with my 350D, the only time my computer recognised the camera was when I installed the software package included with the camera. Nothing off the Canon site worked for my 350D, and so far nothing is working for the

Answers :

Both the Canon XT 350D and the XTi 400D are recognized by any PC with XP windows operative system. It seems you have to check your USB port or USB cable used to connect your cameras to the PC. Sometimes, the PC does not recognize a specific device connected to an USB port. Yopu can get into the System -device manager screen, and uninstall the USB port, and run the utility to recognize changes in the device manager. This will install the USB port driver again, and if it is a software issue the reason of the problem, then it will be fixed. \015\012\015\012Also, you can check your cameras and USB cable in a different PC so you can confirm if they both work has should be. \015\012\015\012Regards,

Hi I recently purchased Canon Powershot Sd1200 IS. I installed the Solution Disc software but when I connect the camera to my computer there is nothing that tells me I have installed new hardware - the computer makes the ringing sound when I turn camera power on and off. Only the user guides show on my computer. Before this camera I had the Canon Powershot SD1000 and was able to download my pictures with no problem. Was told at Future Shop that it might be a problem with my computer. rnEmail

My zoombrowser program will not recognize when my camera is attached to the computer with the supplied cord. The computer recognizes that a camera is found, but will not let the program recognize it. Lately, I've also been getting the note: invalid class string. Then I have to uninstall the complete canon program and install it all over again. Then the program works, but still says no camera found. And, the camera is set in the mode to load to the program.

I can't get photos to upload from my Canon S500. Always in the past I just made the USB connection and I got a dialog screen telling me what to do. Now I have a new computer (running Vista, just got my Windows 7 upgrade and haven't loaded it yet), and it gave me a short message about "driver installed and then nothing--no icon, no nothing. It does make a sound when I connect and disconnect the camera. I went to the Canon site and they say there's no special software to download for this.
